I thank you all for explaining. I have heard of them so often but I don't get to go to restaurants a lot so I have to bother all of you. Do you really like them fried? Could you bake them or am I being redundant in asking about baking them. Whenever I make my chicken wings I bake them then throw the sauce on. They taste okay but I think baking them eliminates most of the grease.

It depends on what kind of wings you like or want to cook.
Me I like the crispy ones that a Brazilian restaurant in Miami makes. They are just sensational! (To me at least!)
They are not gooey and are crisp with lots of flavor. They make them on a fire grill in a basket (for easier turning).
You can make them at home on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper with just salt and pepper. (Then add the "sauce" later.)
Or add with the salt and pepper a little garlic powder and or any other seasonsing you like. As like in a dry rub so to speak. Rub the pieces or toss them into a bag with the stuff then bake them.
I use the entire chicken wing sometimes. And sometimes I cut the tips off and discrard and cut the remaning into two pieces.
I like the whole thing together. I think they taste better. Don't know why just do.

you should have gone camping with us thump, when i was young. we saw all sorts of things like flying buffalo.

imo, the ONLY way to make wings, so long as you're not watching yours or your buddy's girlish figures , is to deep fry them, then let them cool just a bit. toss generously in a sauce made from frank's red hot, melted butter, and powdered cayenne pepper to your liking for heat.
serve with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks (not freakin carrot sticks).

HEY!!! lol im from buffalo and i have many many recipes for buffalo wings. . do you want them spicy sweet tangy? Buffalo wings are usually baked in the oven @ 400 till almost done then deep fried for a minute or 2 to get an extra crisp. then the sauce comes. let me know what kind you are interested in and ill be glad to help ya :)

When you guys bake the wings, how do you let the grease run off? If you bake them in a pan with sides, they basically just boil in their own grease. If you just put them on a flat sheet pan, don't you have a mess of juice and grease in the bottom of your oven?
